The Press and Banner, A. fc5 U EVILLK, S.C. Wednesday, Aug. 18, 1882. Death of Samuel S. Marshall. Intelligence readied lis last Saturday of the death of Samuel S. Marshall, son of J Dr. J. W. W. Marshall <>f our town. j The fart of his death aiwi the circumstances attending that sad event ealleil forth the deepest sympathies of our fel-1 low citizens, uml many were the regrets I expressed. The letter which contained ' the intelligence is not before us at this j ? i...? ?hiM nftiw.f I W riling, IIU b II wim;?M?uv ?,v Vilio | A letter came to the editors of the Press ! and Banner dated Fort Benton, Montana i Territory, Oct. 12, 1882, saying that "a I gentleman known as Sum'l Marshall j died suddenly to-day. No ono here i know him, but several copies of the Press1 and liannev of August, 1882, * * were found among his effects. I)o you ' or any of your readers know him? lie J was broko* and will be buried to-morrow J | by the county." j] To any one, who know Sam Marshall, 11 that is a sad letter, and ono which fur- 1 nishes food for thought. Ho left us in j high hopes of fancied prosperity in a new j j country, and how sadly he has been dis-jt appointed. Disappointed, he died among |: strangers, without money, and without:j loving friends to minister to the wants of i. a needy dying man.

L We learn that the work of grading this; I road is progressing, and we would ask at- j1 tention to the fact that the citizens of; j Home of the townships in this county aroi'j paying taxes for that purpose. If we are ' i< not mistaken several thousand dollars of;K bur monev has always been taken to An- j derson, and spent on tho work in that j bounty. As a matter of justice and inter- o est, would it not be well to spend their money, which Abbeville contributes, [ within the county lines? * L. Wants a Fair Expression. I11 Dr. J. C. Maxwell, our nominee for ro- j Election to the State Senate is in favor ot I: hew counties, but he wants the Executive I Committee to treat the opponents of the tnausnrn fairlv. Hfl wants a free ballot!., and h fair count. We always knew thatj'J lie was not willing to take an unfair ad- n vantage of neighbors and fellow-Demo-1 ti crats, I " | o True" Bill. ij Wo vonture the assertion, without fear [ of contradiction, that there aro more u Eighmie Shirts in attendance upon this; ti terio of the Court whoso collars lit well J> nb>ut the neck and whose bosoms remain mi wrinkled than any other.

C : ' If the proposed Constitutional amo:i 1- ! ^ mailt reducing the area of the counties is ' n adopted, another Constitutional amend- j n ment will be neoded to group the vari-i ^ ous counties together, so that two eoun-1 ^ tics may elect one Senator.

With eighty-live Senators J tj find eighty-five counties, it would be 0i with diiliculty that a native South Caro- ?>i liniau could realize that he had not removed to the State of Georgia, where ^ they build a court house for the nonreni- a, ?nco of every lawyer who may live in x Ihe country. " We fail to see why the Executive Com- ^ ititatwl fr> withhold thtt tirk- tn sis on Constitutional questions froin any jounty whose Chairman neglects to order j ;!ie:n so prints.!.

The CoOrt of General Sessions for Abbeville County convened promptly at ten o'clock Monday morning, his Honor Judge Cothmn on the Pencil, nnd Mr. Solicitor Orr at- the liar. Our jail was xveil tilled with prisoners charged wltn petit ofleuws, and waiting trial. The mixed crowd in the Court ro<an seemed to be sn^a!ler thai) usual. Alter thcorganfralion of tiie grand Jury, Ids Honor made a charge somewhat as follows, omitting any effori to report his interesting explanation of the different oH'eiu^s. That was a matter of law, ami we fear that we might go wrong if we should try to report that part of the charge: CIlAItCK TO THK Git ANT) JTItY. Orntltrmm of thr (irttiid Jar//: You are upon I your last term of service. lsy change in the j law you are now required to attend three I terms of the Court of (.ienerai sessions during ! the year. The law was changed fourteen years ago, and experience has proved that it' ivas a wise change, and observations has ! <hown that skilled labor is better than unskilled labor. You are a hud.v of men anx-1 ions to do your duty under instructions rt- j frimi ti n C.ilirl Hllit i>\ticlilMK'f teach i-s you to discharge these Unties with skill! ind" facility. You have already been charged j twicc as to the duties of your office, which Uu-1 lies are varied anil important. It is your duty to sec that the public officers i lischarge their duties as such. All voluntary information to the Court is regarded with idium. It is your duty to report information. Selected,sis you arc.from all parts of the county, you are supposed to be familiar with all I ho wants and needs of the communities to ivhloli the different members of your body belong. All crimes effect society. -Incases of j murder tiie party most effected cannot com- j plain, and tor his benefit the law appoints a I Joroner, whose duty it Is, upon the commit- j :al of a homicide, to enquire into the cause I uul issue warrant lor the perpctmtor of the; leed Hut in all other crimes,such as bur-j ;lar.v, rape, violation of contract, the injured ,ierson survives to make complaint. In such j ;ases it is not the duty of the grand Jury to! five information, but it is the duty of the i >v rouged citizen to make complaint before it I xial Justice. There are olher crimes, howev;r. which effect the public welfare, such as ;ambling, carry lug co.icealed weapons. selliifr liquor without a license, fornication. In j inch cases neither party is expected to fiveI nformation ol crimes. Could y.?u conceive) ?f anything more injurious, Mr. foreman,; ban tne selling up of a retail liquor shop In j .'our neighborhood, which would demoralize our labor and ruin your children. VII other complaints and communications, | viicther over names or anonymous, may be j iveriookcd and disregarded by >ou. In the tbsence of any inform.ition to the contrary, t is presumed that all public officers are | aithful in the discharge of their duties.

The poor house should not tie made so ttructive as to induce people to throw down he Implements of industry to live there in nxury. nor should it be made a penal colony, 'heir bedding should be eoiniortable, their nod wholesome and they well ?lad. While . ueh matters are entrusted to a steward, It is our duty to see that lie faithfully discharges lis contract. The carrying of conecaled weapons is an old Hence, but a recent crime. It is owing diectly to the convenient pistol to avenge petV quarrels that so many homicides have cen committed in this state for the last ten ears. The pistol is intended solely and e.\ usively for the takiiu of human life, and lie law forbids the citizen from carrying It, xcept on his own premises. The hours of the Court will be from 9:30 to 16. Recess for 1;:J0 will be given. BUSINESS OK COURT. The first case to which his Honor's attonlou was directed, was one which was unrortliy of notice by this Court,and which il^ht have been tried by a Junior Trial Jusice, in tne darkest corner of civilization, but wing to the wise laws that now encumber ur .statutes, and till our Jails with prisoners.

Seems to posses a comprehensive knowledg of j the religion he preachc*. and his heart seems > to be so thoroughly imbued with the love of | Him who first loved us, thut we desire to ex-1 press our appreciation for the following urtl-! cle. Head It: What is that to-thee? To each one of us , Ood says, "there is your path; see that ye walk In it steadfastly to the end." What If It is dark on this side or on that, or away yonder ahead; It Is light here where your next footstep must lull. What if you do not know how evil came into the un veise;you know how i to repentof yourown evil. What if you cannot I comprehend how Jesus wan perfectly man | and at the same time perfectly God: you know what il Is to trust in the blood of Jesus for salvation. What if you cannot see how God's election of men to be saved consists i with the freedom of each man to choose or re-) Ject Christ for himself; you know you can If I you will embrace the oiler of pardon. What! if you do not know the time of Christ's second coming, and the end of the world; you can be ready for the hour of your death. What If you do not know liow your prayers and labors can effect anything: when God has decreed all things from eternity; you know you cannot err If you follow the example of! Jesus and obey his word, praying and laborins: unceasingly forull you need, for the shIi vatlon of your friends, and lor every good ob | Ject. What if you do not know whether the 1 ; soul goes at onse to It-w eternal destiny after! ideal)', or lies unconscious until the final 1 Judgment, or abides in nil Intermediate state; you know what will secure your soul's ever-1 lasting rest. | 'K<>llow thou me,' says the voice of Jesus to every man. Leave to tiod the secreat things J \ that belong to him, and humbly pursue the open path of your own duty. Eating Lemons. A good deal has been said tbiough the pa ' ners about the healt hfulness of lemons. The I latest advice as to how to use them so they I will do the most good runs as follows: Most I people know the benefit of lemonade before brerkfast, but few know how it Is more than doubling by taking another at nlgt also. The way to get the better of a bilious system blue pl:is or quinine Is to take thejulce of one, two or three lemons, as the appetite craves. In as appetite craves in as much ice water as makes It pleasant to drink, without sugar, before going to bed. In the morning on rising, or at least tiu.IT an hour before breakfast, take | the Juice of one lemon in a goblet of water. This will clean the system of humors and bile with efllency, without any of the weakening effects of calomel or congress water. People shoulu not Irritate the stomach by eating lemons clear; the powerful nald of the Juice, which is almost corrosiva, infallibly producer inflamatlon after awhile, but properly diluted, so tnat li does not burnjor drav the turoat.lt does it* full medicinal work without harm, and ivnon the stomach Is clear of food has abundant opportunity to work the system thoroughly.

Vow let me say they are mistaken lor there ire some as poor boys here (that is in the Col;ogc)as you cm lind in any College In th?* state. Some who carry the mail for the 1'rolessors and students from the post olliee to the College to help pay their way through. Now do you call this a poor boy or an nrislnrrnl? Again some say II costs mrire. it will cost from $175 to $SW. Vou can go here for } '. less. I say so been use I have counted it up. It will cost me not moie than si fill, for I know that to be true, my board will be $lil.(ju, my matriculation fee SlO.OO, wood will cost mo S'!.VI a cord, furnishing my room >ii.in), washing jl.no per month.

We have now on the roll 110 students and I am glad to say old Abbeville has her share. In conclusion, let me say, when yon hear any one say anything against the South Carolina University tell him he is talking about some- : thing he knows nothing about. 1*', M. M. Good Cheer.

In order that our people may begin to think about their ability to meet the increased expnnso that would be incurred by the adoption of the proposed Constitutional Amendment reducing the arm of tho count ion, we ofl'ersomo figures below. j The estimate below is for the fees and j a ilarics of the oClcers of Abbeville conn-! ty. Of courho where the fees are paid out of tho Treasury, but whore the fees j arc contingent on the services rendered! in suchoilicesas tho Probate Judge, the! Master in Equity, the .Sherill' and the Clerk, in order to make tho salary sufll-; cient in the smaller counties the fees will | have to be raised, so that a citizen having I business in one of the^e offices must pay j nigner man ne wouiu navo uonen me county is not divided. The law, wo believe, requires some of these olllcers to keep their odices open every day. In Abbeville county the salaries and fees in Abbeville county are estimated as follows: Sheriff and Deputj* ?1.000 Clerk 1.500 Auditor : 1.200 Treasurer 800 Master in. Equity GOO Probate Judge 1.000 School Commissioner COO Co. Commissioners <fc Clerk 1.000 Supervisor of Registration 500 In this estimate of the Sheriff's income no allowance is made for the board of prisoners, as that item of expense would be, under the proposed arrangement, no more than it is at present. These figures are about as low as com- j petent men can be found to do the work, j In the State officers the increased expenfc will be something. About ten new Judges, and as many additional Solicitors will be required. The Judges now receive a salary of $3,500 annually, and the Solicitor ?1.500. The increased annual expense lor clerical force or new officers in Columbia could 'not be loss than ?10.000. The proposed Constitutional Amendment would add fifty new counties in this State. This would field tho namas of fifty new Senators to the pay roll, ($250 to cadi.) The act of drawing a jury costs S23. In each county there are annually three petty juries and one grand jury? four in all, at a cost of ?92. Annual expense alone of drawimr juries for fifty new counties would bo 34.000. The Jury Commissioner is required to attend Court at a cost of $2 a day?on an average of four days at each Court??24 ayear. For j fifty cr.unties ?1.200. At each Court there are usually about half-dozen bailiffs at $150 a day for every day of the Criminal Court, vay six days, at ?9 a day, $.">4. For fifty counties, $2,700. At each Court the man who calls Court gets something and it is necessary to have one of these at every Court in every County. Incidental oxpenscs at each Court, repairs of public buildings, insurance, wood, lights, stationery Ac., 8800 a year for each county. Fifty counties, ?-10.000.

There are others again who would require the bonded officers to keep their money and papers in their pockets, or in a borrowed sale, and it is also certain that there are still a large class who would be willing to cut down the foes of tho Judges and the .Solicitors to half the present pay. There are also many men who think tho present pay of tho old county offices would be t?nr?nr?nH ?nAtifltr In iviv tho npw nfil cera. There are yet another class of men who think the officers who would accept one-third of their present pay in Abbevillo county, are hard to find. There are others again who think the above figures are all wrong. But it should not bo forgotten that the Supervisors of Registration, the Auditors, and tho Treasurers in no county receive less'than ?oOO. tf.

JayUould's wealth must be quite as much, and thero 'f?m are, perhaps, lifty persons in tlio country whose possessions would amount to $10,000,000 each. In France there is a great deal of wealth, but it is betierdistriimted than in the United Statee; for, outside of the Rothschild futnity, there are no sucll fortunes in Franco as in this country. Our forefathers thought thev had provii ded against large accumulations when they decreed that landed property .should ; ie divided equally between the children of the original owners; but the fast inj urease of personal properly through tbe operations of modern com incree, has concentrated capital in very low hands. This will boa cause of trouble sotnetinu',' as our population grows larger, and jealousy is created on account of the dispro- ' portion between the poverty of the many and the vast fortunes of the few. The 2 [only way to prevent a col! ialon is for tho ' rich to recognize tho f;ict that they must make a gpod use of their wealth, regarding it as a trust for the benefit of their fellow-men.?DemoreaVa Monthly. ? About Dyiuff. When one is still young and in health it is natural that death should be an object of fear, but it is not true that those * who are very sick fear the grave. Dr. ' ; Griswold, an eminent physician, who has ?oen many deathbeds, declares that the I dying do not fear death, but rather desiro ' i it. To pass away when the time comes is in the order of nature, and we all submit to the inevitable without a murrner. Nor ' is it true that death is attended with any I superstitious terrors, for strangely enough, all physicians agree that the dyjing think of tho past, notof tho future. ? Death itself is not painful; there is no pang or mental agony except in case of wounds or premature death. The is often terrible suffering from disease, but . C-S3 death is always a relief.
